While a fairly slim knot is de rigeur at the moment, a truly minuscule one will look odd indeed. A common mistake is using too much of the slim section of the tie, which can lead to a tiny knot. This one is slightly asymmetrical and therefore more forgiving, less tricky to achieve, and suited to more relaxed occasions (if you would ever wear a tie to more relaxed occasions). The simplest one, and probably closest to the method you learned at school. A good option for smartness that feels a bit less showy. Symmetrical, like the Windsor, but with a smaller knot – it’s a more modest version of the full Windsor. Basically, it’s the fattest of knots and it’s meant to be symmetrical, which makes it trickier to achieve for the irregular tie wearer. It was created out of the public’s enthusiasm for the duke’s noted fat tie knots, usually achieved using a wider, heavier tie. Named after the indubitably stylish Duke of Windsor, the formality of the Windsor knot (usually worn with a spread collar shirt) makes it ideal for job interviews and formal occasions.
Though the only real difference is the amount of fabric used, each knot has its own connotations.
